A Place for World-Class Education
The BA (Hons) Education program at University of York’s Department of Education ranks 9th in the UK and within the world’s top 50 according to QS World Rankings. This recognition stems from preparing educators who integrate innovation, critical thinking, and compassion into their work—an approach that continues reshaping how we understand teaching and learning today.
The BA (Hons) Education Program
Over three years, students engage with core debates and concepts while developing analytical frameworks that apply across different contexts. Faculty expertise creates an intellectual environment where questioning becomes habitual, and theoretical understanding deepens through exposure to diverse pedagogical traditions. The program balances foundational knowledge with space for independent inquiry, allowing students to shape their focus as interests emerge.
Empowering Education for Social Justice
The program explores connections between learning environments and equity, examining how practices affect healthcare, criminology, media, and sexuality. Students gain hands-on experience through placements and volunteering, while study abroad options broaden cultural understanding. Well-equipped facilities and industry partnerships enable practical application, helping translate theory into meaningful work.
